Water flowing through a pipe of area of cross-section \(2 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}^2\) hits a vertical wall horizontally with a velocity of \(12 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\). If the water does not rebound after hitting the wall, then the force acting on the wall due to water is

  1. A 24N
  2. B 144N
  3. C 288N
  4. D 72N
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 288N

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( F = \rho A v^2 \) \( F = 1000 \times (2 \times 10^{-3}) \times (12)^2 \) \( F = 288 \mathrm{~N} \)
